Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh announced a yatra titled ‘Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra’ that will commence on Vijayadashami, October 20, from Ujjain and proceed to Ayodhya, aiming to combat alleged corruption in the name of religion and promote transparency and social harmony.
Senior Congress figure Digvijay Singh unveiled plans for a new pilgrimage‑style rally called the ‘Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra’. The journey is slated to begin on Vijayadashami, 20 October, from Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh and will continue to the holy city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
The yatra is framed as a response to what Singh describes as alleged corruption masquerading as religious activity. Its stated objectives include fostering greater transparency, truthfulness, devotion and communal harmony across the regions it traverses.
Singh, a veteran politician with decades of experience in both state and national politics, has often linked cultural heritage with governance reforms. By choosing the auspicious festival of Vijayadashami as the launch day, he aims to tap into the symbolic victory of good over evil associated with the occasion.
Organisers expect the rally to draw participants from across the Hindi‑speaking belt, with media crews and local authorities preparing to manage the procession. The movement will be monitored for its impact on public discourse around religious integrity and accountability.
